Okay. You’ll see what I mean by the title.

Today was great but hectic. We were late to get to the worksite because of a huge factory fire. I have never seen so much smoke in my life. Traffic was bad and so we had to work faster to try to get some work done. Painted the church again. Then went up to help paint the house. Window and roof is up. For such a hasty morning, we managed to work well and still interact with the people almost as if as normal.
The kids’ T-shirts hanging out to dry after drawing on them!
When we finished painting the church, we decided to go up to see if the other group needed help. We the reinforcements helped paint the house a nice yellow color.
VBS camp went great, (a little “boring-er” than usual). Had a little skit called “Sin Chair.”
I don’t know, I think it’s just me. But I was just tired to the day as a whole. Anyways, I just thought that the skit was very interesting. The story is basically a person walks by a chair marked “sin.” The person decides to “explore” it and touches it. To that person’s dismay and horror, he (or in our case, she) can’t remove his hand. Stuck in sin, she tries to free herself and a group of friends also come to help. Eventually, they leave her because they are not strong enough to free her. Then another friend walks in and explains Jesus to her and how He could free her. As he says a prayer, “Jesus” walks in and takes away the chair. As extra emphasis, He sits in it. (In another time, He also rips the sign in half.) I just thought that the skit sent out a really good message of what Jesus did to help us.
Food….
Rushed back to get ready for dinner. Authentic Guatemalan food!! It was delicious!! Ended the night going (0-for-10) in Dutch blitz.
We went out to Alfredo’s and, boy, it rocked! Plus, ice cream later!! My very first Guatemalan ice cream was a mistake. I ordered chocolate mint, not knowing what the Spanish word was! (I love chocolate, but I strongly dislike mint. So there you go.) But it turned out all right, and I rather enjoyed it. And yes, I lost ten straight games of Dutch blitz.
